Hi,
I joined the Forum some months ago but have not really had time to do a great deal about it. However, I am still having trouble finding any more informatiopn about my grandfather, Wheppton Homer Hunt, married to Violetta Haskey in 1898. They had a number of children, one of whom was my father,. Ben Hunt, born on 10 June 1910. I have found the family in both 1901 and 1911 Census forms and I find that his father was called Thomas Hunt, married to Elizabeth Hunt and he was a foreman in a Fustian factory (velvet) in Warrington. However, Thomas, according to 1881 census had two sons, Thomas aged 9 in 1881, Alfred aged 14 and he had a daughter, Elizabeth aged 11. They lived inPlatt Square, St Peters, Warrington. If there is anyone who knows of these people, perhaps they could help me to check to see if Wheppton changed his name from Thomas to the one on his marriage certificate. Perhaps there is someone who is a descendant of this family, I woulod be very grateful for any information I can get. Thank you,
Incidentally, my grandmother, Violettra had a brother who emigrated to Canada in the 1930@s wioth his family. One son, named Bernard maried twice and his second wife, it is believed is or has lived in Calgary. Her surname would be Haskey. I understand that she and Bernard had two sons, also living in Calgary. Any information about this family, too, would be greatly appreciated.
